Ann Reville was in the final stages of her third pregnancy, when she was murdered in the family's butchers shop, in Slough, in 1881. Her killer was never charged, but for more than 130 years her death certificate has said she was murdered by the Reville's assistant, Alfred Payne, who was acquitted by a jury at Aylesbury Assizes. Setting out to try and understand this contradiction the author's research revealed more layers than could have imagined, and shone light on matters of justice that still reverberate today. This is history as it was, not as it has been portrayed
